Over the past four years that American boots have been on the ground in Vietnam, the war effort has only grown more and more perilous. For the Vietnamese civilians, the American war machine is nothing more than an instrument of death and destruction, bringing not justice, but instead indiscriminate carpet bombing and clouds of Agent Orange. As more of America’s young men and women return home in caskets, citizens on the home front are growing weary of the war, spurring draft dodging and mass protests spanning from Chicago to New York. 
​
However, a strong base of supporters for the war remains. Fearing the decades-old threat of Communism in Southeast Asia, American citizens and politicians alike advocate tirelessly for further increases in the fighting capabilities in Vietnam and broad-scale crackdowns on issues of draft dodging and civil unrest. 

As clashes between these two factions flare up increasingly often, and America sits on the brink of being toppled from its position on the world stage, delegates will represent US Congresspeople during the Nixon administration’s era of the Vietnam War. Tasked with addressing a debacle that crosses party lines and calls personal values into question, delegates will work to decide on a future course of action in Vietnam, confront dwindling public support and civil unrest, and answer the fundamental question: what does it take to justify a war?
